You don't understand. Those JBT's are beating people senseless and throwing them in prison for their own good!

My personal favorite in this genre is a television ad in which police rough up a high school student when arresting him in the school’s marijuana-smoke-filled bathroom. This is followed by a caption reading, “Marijuana: Harmless? Think again.”

At least they're openly advertising police brutality. Maybe in a few years they'll have an ad where the SWAT team shoots someone who is complying with their orders, and then asks "Think drug use is harmless? Think again."

"If the police at the Goose Creek high school had inadvertently shot a student or two in their zealous search for marijuana cigarettes, would that be enough to distract people from holiday shopping and channel surfing?"

....and if a bullfrog had wings, he wouldn't keep bumping his........well everyone knows the rest.......

Wow leroy. I'm impressed. Your new "Just Say Yes" campaign is just taking over the forum. I've never seen so many people energized to your...(yawn)...issue before.

If this bill becomes law, it will be illegal to buy advertising space on a city bus or in a subway station, advocating that doctors be given the right to prescribe marijuana as a painkiller for their terminally ill patients.

"Congress shall pass no law"

Well, as we all know, this line no longer has any meaning. The Supreme Court has nullified the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. What's the big deal? It's illegal to buy political advertising. Who cares about legalizing drugs... Oops! It is a political issue. The former first amendment only protects obscenity now. Not political discourse.

Fred Kevlin - shouldn't that moniker really be Fred Kevlar?

The difference between the Nazis and the drug czar's office is the Nazis had great fashion sense. Now if they could get some uniforms like those Nazis had for the DEA, they would really be on to something...

Oh, how I wish we could have a reasoned discussion about this issue. Reasonable people can disagree on this -- it's pretty unquestionable that both drugs and the war on drugs are destructive. Principled people can come down on either side of this issue without being dopers or statists. Kumbayaaaaaaaa...... /self-righteous rant

[Conservative til I die]

For example, on Dec. 8, the House of Representatives passed a bill that gives the White House drug czar’s office $145,000,000 of taxpayer money to run anti-marijuana propaganda ads.

Wow, what a great use of taxpayer funds. The government needs to spend $145,000,000 to tell us pot is bad for you? Hell, I work in marketing. Give me 1/10 that and I'll disseminate that message to everybody.

What a joke. Guess I should bite my tongue, since it's my party that passes this bill, blind partisanship being what it is and all.
